In a significant development in the chocolate industry, officials from a 100-year-old Japanese chocolate company have visited the farm of Renny Jacob, the owner of India Cocoa, located in the picturesque districts of Idukki and Kottayam in Kerala. The visit, spanning over two days, was marked by extensive exploration and analysis of Jacob’s cocoa farming practices, as well as the quality of his crops.
The Japanese company, known for its reputation and established history in the chocolate industry, was particularly interested in Jacob’s farm due to his three-decade-long experience in cocoa farming. During their stay, they meticulously examined various aspects of the farm, from the fermenting sheds to the drying yards, and even followed Jacob through the mist-covered slopes where much of his cocoa production takes place.
The visit concludes with a positive development for Jacob’s farm, as the Japanese company has expressed interest in potential partnership. However, specific details regarding the nature and terms of this partnership have yet to be disclosed.
This potential collaboration could mark a significant milestone for the cocoa farming industry in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, where Renny Jacob’s farm is located, as well as for India’s growing presence in the global chocolate market. East Godavari, another region known for its cocoa production in India, may also benefit from such a partnership.
As this story unfolds, we will keep you updated on any further developments concerning the potential partnership between the Japanese chocolate company and Renny Jacob’s farm.
